It’s got the battery, the brawn, and the brightness to boot.
The OPPO A5 2025 is now officially released in the Philippines, and this one’s all about shrugging off everyday abuse. It arrives with an emphasis on durability, a battery that seems to last forever, and a display that’s readable outdoors — all without asking for your entire paycheck. You can grab it now for P8,999 (around $159) from OPPO‘s official online stores, with installment plans via SPayLater, LazPayLater, and TikTok PayLater.
This smartphone is practically begging to be dropped. With an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance and military-grade shock resistance, the OPPO A5 is designed to survive more than just a light drizzle or an accidental tumble. And speaking of longevity, the brand is really leaning into the A5’s power source: a five-year durable 6,000mAh battery, complete with 45-watt SUPERVOOC Flash Charge. That’s a bold claim, but if it holds up, it means less time tethered to an outlet and more time actually using your device.
Front and center is a 6.67-inch LCD, pushing an HD+ resolution and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. But the real kicker here is the 1,000 nits of peak brightness, which should make squinting at your screen in the midday sun a thing of the past. Underneath the hood, you’ll find the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 4G processor, paired with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. Camera-wise, it’s a familiar budget setup: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 5-megapixel selfie shooter.
The OPPO A5 runs on ColorOS 15, based on Android 15, so you’re getting OPPO’s latest take on Android with all its usual optimizations. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and for connectivity, you’ve got dual-SIM support with 4G LTE. The phone comes in two rather fetching colors: Mist White and Aurora Green.
